1 An introductory guide to the key terms and interagency initiatives in use in the Children s Services Committees in Ireland Stella Owens This document provides an introduction to the sources and origins of key terms and interagency initiatives in use in the Children s Services Committees in Ireland. It is not intended to be comprehensive of all terms and initiatives relevant to CSCs at this stage, but rather a starting point which we hope will be added to with suggestions from CSC stakeholders, as the work on CSCs progresses.
